He's literally refusing to do the job he was hired for...and you're still paying him. If you live in a relatively gay-friendly area, start putting this money towards therapy and work on yor self esteem. (For real, the hivemind on this board ain't gonna do the trick there). And block his number. Seriously this sounds like someone angling to get into the will. And then what happens when he gets tired of waiting?

Sorry man, but you know the answer here. Time to move on.

So where does one get "the real stuff?" At the rate my GLP1 is working, I might be able to ditch the compression shorts soon...

I asked an acquaintance who is a musician was it true Gaga was a great technical singer, because I am tone deaf and can't tell, but I also don't find her voice pleasing. Like, at all. And he replied "yes, and actually nearly all pop singers, even those who are not regarded as good, are technically skilled." Madonna may be a worse singer, but I think her songs are much better written/enjoyable. She herself repeatedly said she wasn't doing it because she thought she had a fantastic voice, but because she had something to say.

I notced that he was charged with oral sex with someone under 17 - isn't that a state not federal charge? There are states where the age of consent is still 16.

So you're saying it's PreP for bears?

I feel like with a shot there's more risk it wears off for some sooner than others, people drag their feet and go more.than 6 months, etc. Then again lots of people are terrible about taking daily pills too I suppose.

We use "boinking" for THAT in the US...

Just started Zepbound and holy shit, this is a gamechanger. I feel like I could go 48 hours without eating and not care. I also am not "bonking" during long workouts. Is this what skinny-without trying people feel like all the time? Week 1 I am losing weight much faster than simple caloric deficit would suggest...I'm definitely shedding a lot of water.

The only reason anyone is paying for branded PreP options is pharmacy benefit managers. It should be a scandal but I guess there are too many people with their hands in the cookie jar.

Yes, but you can't charge for a massage if you don't have a license in most(all?) states. Hell, at my gym a trainer got in trouble with his boss for using a massage gun on a client.

My brother worked as a waiter. He had an epiphany that the effort involved was much the same whether he worked at Denny's or at a high end hotel restaurant, but one gig paid a hell of a lot more than the other. Some escorts have had this epiphany. And while average joes are somewhat poorer than 25 years ago, there are also more people than there used to be in the "dropping $1000 doesn't faze me" category than in the past. It's not surprising that some choose to operate in that segment of the market.

He's at the age where things can suddenly turn even if he's in shape, so he should probably get checked out.

There were people charging 500 bucks 25 years ago, which is about 1000 today. You can't see s double feature for a quarter or get a Pepsi for a nickel these days either. Get over it.

How's his BP? Is he on any meds for that?

So just have the guys wear g-atrings that may or may not come off in the champagne room just like the female strip clubs do.

I know a guy who just does it through word of mouth. He's really doing it for the sex not the money though.

I could swear I was aware of him pre-Y2k.

People who make it to the C-suite tend to be the kind of person who hates people who get in their way for any reason....

Well, delicious suggests some tongue invovlement...

I thought you didn't rim...;)

There pretty much is a cure for baldness now but it's more a preventative and if you don't start early enough you're too late.

No offense, but that's your friend's interpretation of the denial. If they actually put that in a letter, I'd expect to see it on 60 Minutes. But again, given the fuckery the companies are engaged in now with insulin and Epi-pens...it's possible.

There are cheap generics for HIV meds these days. The scandal is that pharmacy benefit managers exist and they keep them off of formularies. I'm about to start taking PreP outside of my insurance because I can't morally justify the roughly thousand dollars a bottle my employer pays when I can get the same medication for something like 50 bucks a month with Goodrx. This should be a scandal but too many orgs have their hands in the cookie jar. As for not funding a cure in the 80s, at that point was there ANY viral disease we had a cure for? I don't necessarily think it was ulterior motives keeping that from happening back then. Also, I don't think at the time people understood the absolute fuckery the pharmaceutical industry would get up to with patent games and barely tweaking formulations to keep prices increasing. The same medicine always declined in price back then over time, and that was the expectation of what would happen for HIV meds...they'd come down to something affordable.

I thought it was more about using "their" terminology and fitness influencers acting like they give a shit about strippers . Complaining about language appropriation seems pointless given language constantly evolves, but the writer sorta had a point. She just didn't express it effectively IMO.
